Rhinoceros beetle drinking sugar water - Dynastes tityus -  Blairsville, Posey County, Indiana, USA July 10, 2008
The personality of these beetles is even more remarkable than their appearance. I couldn't kill this one. Collected on white sheet by portable mercury vapor lamp at 1am local time. He drank the sugar water about 4 minutes.
